Players out of position will naturally look worse than they are and we start to blame them. I know we have a lot of injuries, but given what we had today, mbuemo up top with amad on right and cunha on left in a 4-2-3-1 was the only right answer.
As soon as a manager comes under pressure,he starts to play a formation that baffles me. They think becoming defensive is the only option but we still keep conceding and it’s just a bad watch.Then a caretaker manager comes in and starts playing back to our strengths and it works.
If you erase man city’s existence from the premier league from 2009-2018 and adjust their results vs all other clubs…united would have won 7 in a row from 2006-2013.
Whatever refree decisions there were today, it wasn’t going to affect the game..we never looked like scoring and we always look like conceding. This team needs to have more intensity while playing football against any premier league side and not rely on individuals
@NikVeda I’m not sure i agree on the entire front line of arsenal..defence a massive yes, midfield yes but attack? I’d prefer united’s front line, that being said it’s not the best attacking line up, but i think it’s better than Arsenal’s.
the good thing today… lammens was good on occasions. The bad… just got reminded on first day of season that it’s been 13 years since man united has been good at breaking down oppositions and that ain’t changing soon..the thought of us playing against a back 5 terrifies me.
